Not only was he the greatest, setting pitching and hitting records, not only did he popularize the homerun-- arguably the quintessential symbol of the American ethos-- but the man had volcanic charisma. Somehow little kids today even know his name.

One of the interesting-not trying to be morbid-quirks. Babe Ruth was born on this date and Ralph Kiner passed away today.

Mike Jorgensen was born on the same day Ruth died and he had a decent 17 year career. Ruth passed away on August 16th, same date as Tommie Aaron(Hank's brother) and Bobby Thomson.
